WiMAX (Worldwideoperability for Access) was developed in the early 200s. The development process culminated in the release of the IEEE 802.16 standard in 2001, which laid the foundation for WiMAX technology. Subsequently, the first commercial deployments began around 2005, marking its official introduction to the telecommunications market.
Key Milestones:
- 2001: IEEE 802.16 standard finalized, marking the formal design of WiMAX.
- 2005: First commercial WiMAX networks launched.
This timeline underscores that WiMAX was primarily designed and standardized in the year 2001, with practical implementations following a few years later.
